Method

In another bowl, add the milk, egg, pepper, and mix well until the egg is dissolved.

Transfer the milk mixture into the bowl with the cheeses and add the thyme and butter. Mix well with a fork and set aside.

To assemble

Preheat the oven to 180ο C (356ο F) set to fan.

Spread the phyllo sheets onto your working surface. Drizzle one phyllo sheet with butter and add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling along the large side. Fold in a roll and transfer it to the outer surface of a buttered round baking pan with a 34 cm diameter.

Follow the same process for the rest of the phyllo sheets until the whole baking pan is covered. Add butter between the phyllo sheets, so that the rolls will not stick together.

Spread the remaining butter on top, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, drizzle with the water, and bake for 35-40 minutes.
